As I was scanning the news I came across this very creepy crime...
A woman who stabbed her partner 37 times before skinning him, beheading him and baking his body parts as a meal for his children, claimed a penalty of life in jail was too severe for the killing.
Katherine Knight, 50, in 2001 became the first woman in Australia to be jailed for the term of her natural life, after being convicted of the "horrendous" murder of her de facto husband, John Price.
But Knight, a former abattoir worker, appealed the life sentence, claiming the February 2000 killing was not in the worst category of murder.
Justices Peter McClellan, Michael Adams and Megan Latham dismissed the appeal in the NSW Court of Criminal Appeal.
Knight, 50, pleaded guilty to the February 29, 2000, murder of Mr Price.
She had repeatedly stabbed the 44-year-old father of two as she chased him around the home they shared at Aberdeen, in the NSW Hunter Valley.
Knight stabbed Mr Price 37 times with a butcher's knife before skinning him and hanging his hide from a meat hook in their lounge room.
She then decapitated him and put his head in a pot on the stove, baked flesh from his buttocks and cooked vegetables and gravy as side dishes to serve to Mr Price's children.
Police found the macabre dinner before the adult children arrived home.
